About the pieces
Ceramik B. is a Montreal based ceramic concept studio that produces refined porcelain pieces. Over the last three years, the studio has been confirming its place in the emerging local design scene.
Since 2007, the studio has presented its latest creations and the collection designed by Basma is gaining popularity in several Canadian cities as well as in European capitals. The project launched in August 2007 with the production of its first tableware pieces.
The collection of tableware, designed by the ceramicist, reflects evidence of her attraction to minimalism whereby the line and the silhouette are the foremost elements. By meticulously crafting the shape and texture, each piece, inspired by organic forms, carries an invitation to the hand to revisit the daily gestures and rituals.
Each piece stands alone, but resides perfectly well with others, whether it is by colour contrast, by complementing forms, or by function. The colours accentuate the lines and affirm the presence of clay.
Ceramik B. offers several products and services. It is possible to request custom orders for corporate gifts. Products can also be personalized by a logo.
In the last year, Basma has created a thin version of some of her pieces, a version that reflects the splendor of porcelain and that pushes the limits of this whimsical clay one step further. The ceramicist will continue to develop tableware products, such as new serving trays and limited special editions of existing work.
